The New Trend in Japan: Virtual Boyfriends

In Japan, a lot of girls are dating--but some of their boyfriends aren't actually real. More after the jump...

There's a crazy new website called Web-Kare, where where women can sign up for social networking and virtual dating. According to TechCrunch, "girls choose between one of four different male cartoon characters they want to hook up with...They can then 'communicate' with their digital crush in cartoon-like sequences to try to win over his heart...Eventually they conquer the heart of the chosen cartoon boy."

It's a GIANT hit in Japan. What do you think? Would you want to play the game? Which of the four guys below would be your type?
